Caroline Wozniacki said she was fulfilling her childhood dreams after she won a 30th WTA singles title with victory over Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova in the China Open final on Sunday.
The Danish world number two was impressive all week in Beijing, never dropping a set and rarely looking troubled, sealing her spot in the WTA Finals Singapore in the process.
The 28-year-old Wozniacki, who won her maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open at the start of this year, was imperious against the unseeded Sevastova, winning 6-3, 6-3.
It is her second China Open crown -- she also won it in 2010 -- and 30th overall.
"I'm just happy to have reached 30 today, I'm going to enjoy that," said Wozniacki, a former number one.
"As a little kid I had a dream of becoming a professional tennis player, becoming number one in the world.
"Then after number one in the world, I wanted to win a Slam, then I wanted to lift trophies.
"Having done everything, all of that, it's pretty amazing.
"I think I had a dream of that, but I don't know how realistic I really believed that was going to be."
